Hi Caitlin, we went with the Schock sink and havent regretted it. It still looks as good as when it was installed and we have enjoyed using it. The corners are easy to clean it has stood up well to daily use. I am careful (but not afraid) of pouring boiling water into it based on some comments found online and generally try and aim for the drain hole but absolutely no issues so far. Hope you enjoy your new kitchen!

I have been looking into composite granite sinks but not sure which brand is best. Options are Abey Schock (some reviews say they crack), Blanco, Oliveri or Franke. Does anyone have experience with these brands?

Hi Jay j, I still stand by this so if you are reading reviews with people reporting their own negative experiences (not hear-say), make sure they are also specifying a brand and model to check they are talking about reconstituted stone (granite) sinks and not Acrylic. Knowing the brand they are reviewing you can check from the manufacturer what they are made from as well as check the manufacturers warranty and their own assurances given about performance. When you go through reviews, it is a good idea to make sure that people are actually talking about Granite Sinks, which are made of the same type of material as Reconstituted Stone benchtops are made of, and they are not talking about coloured Solid Surface sinks made from Acrylic which do have these problems listed. Some people confuse the two. Modern Granite Sinks do not tend to have the staining, chipping, and cracking problems that are inherent with Acrylic Sinks. Some people mistakenly think the Acrylic sinks that were popular in the 1980s and 90s, plus still used in today Acrylic Solid Surface benchtops are the same material as today’s Granite sinks; but they are totally different. Hope this still helps. Regards, Malcolm

Hi OB Perth First I have to say I love your slab of Granite, looks similar to Titanium Granite but different; can I please ask what it is? Getting back to your question though, using different colours on sections of cabinets and different colour bench top materials is quite popular these days. So in short this is a resounding yes, your scheme will work well. Just be sure to pick a white cabinet colour that complements the white stone bench material. Hope this helps, Malcolm.
